Ordinary Day

Just got the chance to watch this last night.

Oof. 1 hour and 20 minutes of oof.

Fat Lee. I saw the first belly shot and said: "Oh my god... Starbuck would be so disgusted with him... and rolling on the floor the moment he was out of sight!" I loved the line it cut between Lee and Bill. Lee didn't know what to do with command and he let it go to his... belly. Bill's still fighting the war internally and externally and so has only gotten harder.

I love the growth of Sharon Agathon. She started as the weakest character they had, failed in an attempt to kill herself... got herself killed, and this variant has grown into that uniform the hard way. I was very pleased to see her ceremony and the edge placed on the words she echoed only cemented the thought that she's learned and she's learned hard. It's interesting to note that she's taken the role of the Advisor and Confidant, too... even going so far as to chastise Bill for not forgiving himself... something Rosalyn would have done.

Rosalyn. Not sick. Yay Cylon miracle blood. Wonder if it will heal gunshot wounds? Maybe Zirek will be her savior. If anyone can get out of that situation, it will be Zirek. (After they caved to put him in the show, do we think they have the guts to kill his character off??)

I wasn't surprised at all to see Caprica get popped in the head. Caprica herself admitted that she'd dropped a rock on the other's head. (Loved the look on Baltar's face too!)

Starbuck. When she used the chopsticks to kill Leoben, I almost died. When she sat down to eat, I lost it again. My husband just looked at me and I remarked: "The back of my brain is saying: 'That's classy!'" He said "Sociopathic." When Leoben #6 walked in, and made the 'we've done this five times now' and she ran to the barred door, I reiterated my 'Classy' comment. Nothing else to do after you kill your Cylon captor, so you may as well eat.

I was disappointed that she didn't slice his neck and leave two bodies, but there's still hope. I figure she's biding her time at this point. Now that she's out of that cell and in a 'hospital' she might have a higher chance of getting free... especially if the kid gets stable. Hybrid child healthy enough to be grabbed = shield and freedom. I think she's making him drop his guard by pretending that she's dropped hers.

As for Dee and Lee? I think Dee was in love with the illusion and not the man. After all, Billy got shot protecting her. Thing is, Dee doesn't strike me as the type to waffle and prattle about it. She'll stick with Lee until she's had it, and she's going to tell him off most gloriously before she leaves.
